Yep, just thought I’d let everyone know that I’m still alive. Things have been quite hectic around here the last 6 weeks. For those of you who may not know I help my hubby run his PC repair business and lately it has been manic. The phone just doesn’t seem to stop [...]

Yep, that’s right. My creatively talented friend Sara, of Sara’s Texture Crafts, runs a ‘Sweet Home Blogger Award‘ and I was one of 5 winners. This came totally out of the blue as I wasn’t expecting it so it was a nice surprise when I logged into my blog this afternoon and found [...]

Yep, that’s right! I’ve lost my mojo. I’ve been sort of stuck in a rut with everything at the moment. Not too sure why I’ve lost a bit of heart. Maybe it’s because at this time of year candle sales tend to be very low. I know that I’ve been [...]

It’s just come to light that candles are going to have to conform to BSI Standards for candle safety, warning labels and sooting.
There are quite a few of us discussing this on the forum. We all feel that regulation IS a good thing as there are many people out there who are selling candles [...]

Yes folks, it’s that time of the year when Royal Mail put up their postage prices up yet again!! Unfortunately, the price goes up but the level of service does not.
Don’t know about your part of the country but in my neck of the woods, our post is awful. We have a regular [...]

Well, I’ve decided to move my blog away from Blogger. Why? Quite simply it wasn’t being indexed by the search engines. When I signed up for Blogger I was under the impression that because it is owned by Google, it would be indexed quicker. Not so.
Despite having my blog link on [...]

Well it’s been nearly 2 weeks since I last posted anything on my blog or my lens. I’ve had such a rotten cold/flu bug that’s been going round that I just couldn’t concentrate on anything for very long.
Well today I thought I ought to check out my various internet bits and bobs I do. [...]

Well it’s that time of the year again. Where did it all go? I swear each year goes by quicker than the last.
I’ve closed shop for the year now. I finished packaging up my last orders of the year yesterday. They’ll make nice Xmas pressies for somebody. I’ll be taking [...]
